My Husband has MS and his legs are very bad so I bought him and electronic peddler, not sure of the name but we outfitted it with straps so we can strap his feet in and then turn it on and it pedals for him but gets his legs moving.

It counts his calories burned and if we change the pedals he can use his hands to exercise his arms, his legs are very weak so without it he would really not move very much.

Well I am limited on my spare time because I have two jobs and a Husband with MS but when I can squeeze some time for myself I work out, read or play angry birds. Also any moment with my Grandson is well spent time!

This actually sounds like a Great idea, I am so fixated on my intake that I don't think as much of my output, maybe I will give this a try also. At least if I am bad on my calories then I can amp my work-out to still get a deficit.

Just checked my book list and I read 35 books since June of last year. Time to start a new list for 2010-2011.

*pats self on back*

Good job!

Good Job Dawg, what do you like to read?

Hmmm, I read alot of Young Adult fiction but I also love Harlan Coben and Christopher Moore. I generally don't like romance or "girly" books although I do get in the mood for one every once in a while. I like some science fiction as long as it doesn't get bogged down in technicalities. More than you wanted to know right?

I work in a library so....ya know. If I worked in a video store I'd probably watch more movies.

I like Harlan Coben but not so much the ones with Marlo and Win, I really like Laurell K. Hamilton, Kim Harrison, Christine Feehan

Yes have tried the "oh no biggie" type of response and although it works I can only be so kind before I want to vomit. I am so just maybe not cut out for this you know and that makes me feel like a horrible person...............I am going to try harder becasue bottom line is I am all he has but I am so glad for the CC outlet let me tell you!

CC is a great place to vent when life gets tough.

Thanks and when you guys get tired of hearing me whine jsut tell me to shut up or set me on fire, whatever works.

Let it all out girl! And apparently, you should feel free to treat Chat as your as virtual nudist colony as well.

Thanks Gator I think I could handle it better if Monday - Friday he wasn't so self sufficient but on Sat & Sun when I am home it is like he is a complete involute, to the point that I can not even breathe without checking to see if he needs something first and being cordial gets harder and harder when you don't respond quick enough to suit him.

I know this sounds trite, but have you tried laughing about it? I don't mean in a cruel way, but more in a 'you silly goose' kind of way. Sounds like his goal is getting the attention, not the assistance.
